José Mourinho backed by Old Trafford hierarchy in Paul Pogba power struggle

Arsenal legend Martin Keown has said that Jose Mourinho "seems to be at war with his players" following the latest controversies surrounding Manchester United.

Footage from training on Wednesday then appeared to show the two falling out in a very frosty exchange, and Berbatov believes they need to fix their relationship for the good of the club. "They won the game".

While Mourinho was busy bickering with Pogba in front of the cameras at Carrington, Zidane was all smiles as he and wife Veronique enjoyed a pleasant promenade around London.

The difference is that United might feel they can still get some mileage out of Pogba if they work on the hefty assumption that his feelings about leaving are based on Mourinho staying. That's my way of thinking - we should move better, we should move more, yeah.

He has scored four times in seven appearances and also set up Fred's opener against Wolves at the weekend.

As for United, the malaise at Old Trafford shows no sign of abating. Mourinho, however, could be gone before Christmas and it really would not be a surprise if he that situation were to unfold.

The seat is starting to get warm for Mourinho, and it will only heat up if similar results follow. All the fingers point towards Pogba departing first.

Manager Mourinho has publicly dressed down the World Cup winning midfielder previously, despite having brought him to Old Trafford for a then-World Record fee.

Lukaku hit the woodwork as United tried to respond, but Derby made the most of their numerical advantage to snatch the lead in the 85th minute.

Times have changed and Mourinho does not have the credit Sir Alex amassed.

One of the names on the table at Can Barça this summer was Paul Pogba.

Berbatov's comments come after former United forward Alan Brazil branded Pogba as "poison". The humbling came on the day United's annual accounts showed the wage bill rose 12 per cent to 295.9 million pounds ($390 million) in 2017-18 - nearly 40 million pounds more than Manchester City, which won the league in May by finishing 19 points ahead of its second-placed neighbour.
